Children boarding vehicles, Kindertransport Harwich 1938
Children climb into waiting vehicles that will take them away from the port to their first accommodation in England. Many of the roughly 200 children of the first Kindertransport of 2 December 1938 were initially taken to a former holiday camp at Dovercourt near Harwich, used by refugee organisations as transitional housing until foster families could be found. The camp offered simple huts where the children were cared for despite the winter cold. For many, it was the first stop on a long path away from the parents who remained in Germany.
